‘I thought they were dancing’: Brutal beach shooting streamed over Facebook Live [VIDEO]

A South Carolina beach shootout that left seven people injured was broadcast over Facebook Live, according to WTBW.

The violent incident occurred on Ocean Boulevard, in Myrtle Beach, early Sunday morning. Police reported that an altercation broke out between two men, leading one to open fire on the other. An armed security guard intervened, wounding the assailant, according to Myrtle Beach Online.

After being injured, the suspect was able to fire off more rounds, before carjacking a vehicle and fleeing the scene. Officers have revealed that they recovered the stolen car and managed to arrest the suspected shooter.

Myrtle Beach Police Department Lt. Joey Crosby told reporters that bystanders and participants, including the armed security guard, were being treated for injuries sustained in the gun fight, none of them life threatening.

“The security officer did receive a graze wound to the leg,” he said. “The injury did not require him to be transported to the hospital and he received medical attention on scene.”

Lt. Crosby also noted that a police patrol car was hit by gunfire. No officers were injured in the shooting, however.
